It was a great 5 day workshop with getting some hands on experience and understanding the roots of data science. It made me work towards how data can be applied to solve real world problems. So excited to further explore with all material that was shared.

The Data Science Bootcamp was a spectacular experience, and was definitely a great environment for anyone with no explicitly relevant experience all the way through more experienced professionals. I have a background in statistics, and so I had a fundamental understanding of many of the topics covered, but the depth of conversation and specific examples really helped me understand what makes data science so powerful.

Most important, we discussed several examples of PRACTICAL applications, and I have several great ideas of how to apply these learnings at my company. I feel confident that I can put some of these concepts to use right away. And I now have enough intuitive understanding of what’s going on behind the scenes needed to evaluate the value of a model before deployment. Thank you Data Science Dojo!

I really appreciated that we spent a lot of time on applicability: why choose one algorithm over another, how and why to tweak a certain algorithm, and so on. This was drastically different than a lot of my education, and it’s exactly why I signed up for the course.

I have a programming background and have done data wrangling before the course but I’ve learned so much in this course than I could have anywhere else. The instructors made the bootcamp the most enjoyable and informative class I’ve ever taken. They are very patient in answering all my questions, and they inspired me to be a better coder and explore a career in data science.

The instructors were great, they work really well with each other. I thought 10 hour days would go slow, but they actually went fast (and am glad they set the tone on day one that we would be there the entire time). The instructor knowledge was crazy good, and their willingness to answer any and all questions, even while eating lunch, was awesome. I really learned a lot. Great labs on days 1,2, and 5.

I highly encourage everyone interested in data science to attend this bootcamp, no matter what your domain knowledge and skillsets are. The instructors are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and fun. They teach you a lot of material but in a highly digestible and entertaining manner. The bootcamp is very well organized and you leave with plenty of material to continue learning data science on your own.

The amount of information I gathered in a week long bootcamp with Data Science Dojo was phenomenal. I came from almost no background in Machine Learning and learned not only how to effectively use the tools available but also the inner depth of various machine learning techniques. This kind of information is not available in online tutorial or courses because it needs a deeper engagement to understand the intricacies involved.

I was particular impressed with Raja’s grasp of the subject matter as well as the passion he has. The details on the mathematical aspects although grueling allowed me to appreciate the depth and potential for the space and also I feel it equips me with the right approach and attitude to learn and grow in this space. Not many trainings provide this level of context. It’s easy to pick up the modelling and techniques by following exercises in the manuals but a lot harder to understand the math concepts behind the techniques and the situations in which to use them and I really appreciated the exposure. It is not an easy bootcamp by any means and I think this is going to be a long journey but for those who are truly serious about this space, this is a great start to set expectations of what’s ahead to become truly good.

Loved the Kaggle competition as a forcing function to implement what we had learnt. If left to ourselves I don’t think we would have pushed ourselves as much.

Phuc was great in exposing us to all the tools and systems out there which is equally crucial for someone who wants to be competent in this space. He also helped created a light mood during the training which balanced out the deeply intense sessions … Overall nice job.

Data science dojo was an amazing experience! I came with a curiosity about data science but not much foundations of machine learning and programming. And I feel like I am walking out with a solid understanding of data science as well as the resources to go further. The bootcamp transformed me from not knowing where to start to being able to build my own predictive models! The bootcamp also covered a wide range of topics including the newest technology like spark and IoT. The instructors, Raja and Phuc, are fantastic with deep knowledge in the field and the patience needed to ensure that everyone understands the difficult concepts. Overall, I am very glad that I chose data science dojo to embark my journey!

Data Science Dojo was a great learning opportunity and a truly fun event. The instructors were open, facilitating dialogue and ensuring learning. It was the best run conference I have ever been to – from the great prep to the after-camp mentoring and office hours, from the learning materials provided down to the snacks at break – everything was top notch. I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a very solid foundation in data science. It is intense and fast paced, but worthwhile and enjoyable.

I like that it gave me the tools to go develop skills in specific areas (R, ML modeling in particular) on my own. I now feel like I can go into R, use its help feature, read open-source code and teach myself to fish where I couldn’t before because I didn’t know where to begin.

This class is rich with content and very immersive. You will walk away learning a lot and keep a lot of studying and reference material that will be very helpful. Don’t be afraid to ask the instructors questions. They are very respectful and helpful.

This should be one of the best bootcamps for data science that runs for a week. I am saying it because we got fundamental grounding in the data science field , a sense of direction and the knowledge of where to apply what we learnt. Thank You

I took the Data Science Dojo bootcamp because of the limited in-class time and access to experts for mentoring post-bootcamp. I am confident I made the perfect choice. The format of in-classroom critical thinking / hands-on exercises backed up with out-of-classroom learning and hands-on assignments was a great model for efficiency and maximum value of time spent in class. The lessons and learning materials are top quality and the instructors are exceptional.

It was a great experience coming here, and learning about the whole data science landscape and how it can be applied in our job. I got a good sense about what business metrics to think about while building a model, what evaluation techniques can be used to improve the model etc. I had a great time interacting with my fellow attendees as well and learning about them.

The Data Science Bootcamp was definitely a great environment for anyone with no prior Data Science experience.
We discussed several examples of applications using Azure ML and R Studio, and I now have enough understanding of what’s going on behind the scenes needed as whats needed to evaluate the value of a model before deployment. Thank you Data Science Dojo!

Truly immersive experience. The 5 days transform you into a data scientist. Great curriculum as in selection of topics, progression in topics, mix of practice vs lecture, mix of complexity vs practical use and finally the kaggle competition. Raja was a great trainer and very affable. I enjoyed learning the math behind decision trees, random forest and linear regression. I am now confident to make the switch to Data Science!

The course was well structured to gradually introduce key concepts. Raja spent significant time and great effort to ensure everyone understood the key concepts. With this solid foundation I feel that I can now expend my knowledge further on my own.

The course is well balanced between theory and practical hands on work. The practical work has enabled me to immediately start testing implementation at work right after the bootcamp. Amazing transformation that someone can start attempting to solve real problems in just a week!

Raja’s knowledge and his ability to explain complex concepts in a easy to understand way is phenomenal. Raja’s passion to teach everyone data science is the simplest way is commendable. He is “democratizing” data science for everyone. There is clarify of focus on solving the business problems and not getting carried away with the technology.

I have never learnt so much in a week! The experience has changed my paradigm on Machine Learning. From something perceived as only for “rocket scientist”, I now have the confidence and knowledge to start exploring on how I can use machine learning to solve business problems at my startup. The course has inspired me to further grow my knowledge in Data Science.

This bootcamp bridges the gap between the theoretical to the practical. Within one week I not only gained the skills I needed for Data Science but the confidence as well. I cannot wait to use what I learned to make a difference in the field of healthcare and save lives.

I was extremely pleased with the quality of the Data Science and Data Engineering Bootcamp. It was remarkable the amount of relevant material covered in a short amount of time. You can leave the bootcamp and immediately put that knowledge to use. The team at Data Science Dojo gives you their best, and it is apparent that they want every student to succeed. There is no question that I will recommend Data Science Dojo to others.

I enjoyed the opportunity to meet like-minded people and the chance for some supervised learning. The atmosphere provided to us was very welcoming and not at all intimidating. Everyone was very helpful and understanding!

The treatment of necessary topics in a short period of time was very good. There was enough information to provide some foundation and allow continued growth outside of the bootcamp.
As a dev and math person, I enjoyed the regression and many of the principles discussed in the first half of the bootcamp.

I liked learning about the new tools and techniques that we do not currently use at work, and will enable me to evangelize for their implementation. It was nice to be able to interact with others that share an interest in this space and validate that our pursuit of this kind of work is valuable.

It is a joy to learn from Raja, an instructor who is so incredibly passionate about the topics covered. He is inspiring and his examples are delightful. DSD’s material on YouTube was super helpful to keep up in class. The topics were covered in breath and with the right amount of depth. The constant support from the instructors through pre-created material to ensure individuals are able to complete the Kaggle competition as well as the follow-along in class was incredibly helpful.

The constant food to keep the brain working was wonderful! I look forward to my Data Science Journey!

Raja was very knowledgeable with the tools and the math. I learned a lot about the current state of machine learning, what it can do, and what it can’t do. It seems like a valuable skill to add to my software developer’s toolbox.

Everyone from Data Science Dojo was friendly, positive and went out of their way to be helpful. I was impressed with the enthusiasm and energy Raja consistently demonstrated from before 8 am until after 6pm every day of the week. It was a great week.

After the very extensive, hands-on, and engaging Data Science bootcamp, I now feel confident that I can bring my new skills and experience to my job and have immediate impact. Not only does DSD cover the coding and tools behind Data Science, but they take care to go into specific details on the philosophy and intuition of being a Data Scientist. Very pleased with the class, coursework, instructors, and experience.

The Data Science bootcamp was an excellent experience. My instructor was superb, the content was thorough but presented in an accessible way. I’ll be watching for more DSD bootcamp offerings in the future.

Whether you are a seasoned data scientist or just getting exposure to the discipline, I highly recommend participating in a DataScienceDojo bootcamp. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, passionate and sincere in their delivery of core data science concepts. You will gain a strong appreciation for the art of data science that goes beyond just running “R-packages” by way of the instructor’s commitment to give you the insight on how to build robust generalizable models and an understanding of how the algorithms work. Their enthusiasm for the subject is contagious and the bootcamp is very engaging and stimulating having just the right amount of coverage and depth. The bootcamp and the supplemental material (including post-bootcamp courses) will give you a strong foundation from which to grow and develop.

As a recent college graduate, this bootcamp was perfectly suited for me. I did not attend the camp with a specific goal in mind, business-related or otherwise. Instead, I wanted to learn as much as I could about the field of Data Science. I was interested in learning the underlying principles and how someone like me could become more involved, either as a hobby or a career path.

The Data Science Dojo bootcamp, and especially instructor Raja, were exactly what I needed to break into data science. At the end of such an intensive week I felt grounded in the basics of how to apply data science techniques or methods to a wide variety of problems. I also recognized just how little I knew about the more specific aspects of the field and exactly how they are implemented in different contexts.

You will not become a bonafide “Data Scientist” through this camp, but you will leave with a firm knowledge of what is possible, how to tackle data in its many forms, and where to look to learn more about your own particular interests or to become more specialized.

Raja’s method of questioning/challenging really helped facilitate the learning process for me. Rather than just telling us a bunch of information, he helped us hone in and develop our own conclusions in a natural discovery process. I feel like the concepts will stick longer because of that. I’ve never had a similar experience with any training I’ve gone to.

Raja did a great job explaining complicated topics. I like that I came away understanding how the tuning parameters affect bias vs variance. I also liked the introduction to Azure as it would solve a lot of business problems if I could get my organization to adopt it.

Engaging! The teachers know what they are doing and how to explain it effectively. I have taken a few analytics courses and the ordering of your modules made the most sense.

Jonathan Norton

Great hands on introduction to machine learning and data engineering. Taught in a very simplified yet useful manner that will set you up with a strong base understanding that you can leverage immediately for practical gains at work. Great job guys!

Zaid Samar

Management Consultant at KPMG

I liked that the focus was on understanding the topline intuition of the different approaches and teaching us how to find the packages that will let us take advantage of data science immediately.

I enjoyed Data Science Dojo! Phuc and David were great instructors and able to cover material fairly well so that I am able to apply it immediately. I know after the bootcamp I will be able to enjoy the post-coursework as well and continue learning. The best thing is how fast so much material can be covered but easy to digest.

Dave and Phuc are a great combination of deep data science and experience that work well together in a class setting. They turned what can be a very dry subject matter into a lively discussion and interesting for the students. Highly recommend this class but come prepared and definitely do the pre course work!!

Some of the best training I have had. The short course is a perfect introduction to big data analytics and machine learning. The instructors made the complex topics understandable and fun. They also provided practical examples and code that I can take home and implement immediately.

Before this training, I was struggling to find a well-balanced course of technical code and theoretical knowledge of machine learning. This course has enabled me with a machine learning toolkit that I can go back to work and implement right away, while understanding how the algorithms themselves function.

The instructors are passionate and have real world experience. The instructors teach the technical concepts in a thorough and entertaining way, and the structure of the course allows students to move from basic to advanced concepts seamlessly.

I highly recommend Data Science Dojo to anyone who is looking for ways to tangibly increase their machine learning skillset.

For only being a week long, it’s quite intensive and covers a lot of ground, with a good amount of depth too. Great way to get into the world of data science if you have just some experience in related fields and want to make the jump.

I am very satisfied with the overall bootcamp, this is the best framework to learn what’s going on in Data Science industry and practically learn building your own Predictive models using R and Azure ML.

It is truly a “Data science for everyone” course. The week was packed and succinct to the main points of Machine Learning that for everyone. The hands on training, the strategies to ensure robustness, and the mathematics behind the algorithms made the boot camp a complete bottom-up and top-down education.

I really enjoyed the Data Visualization, Feature Engineering and Kaggle Comp. Dave and Phuc are great speakers and have really turned me on to the benefit of R in Data Science

I just attended Data Science Bootcamp in New York in July 2017. I wasn’t sure how they would cover all the topics in the curriculum within 5 days. But to my surprise, they exceeded my expectation. I thoroughly enjoyed the intense, yet fun learning at the bootcamp. I am now well-equipped with data science terminologies and underlying statistical fundamentals. They provided good pre-bootcamp materials before the camp and had well-organized content during 5-day camp! Two instructors were very knowledgeable and generous with their times. Thank you!

If you are curious about data science but don’t know where to begin, this class is what you want. While no bootcamp is going to make you a data science expert, this class will give you everything you need to get up and running.

Data Science Dojo Bootcamp is a real doozy! The pre-work was very helpful in calibrating expectations and dusting off a few cobwebs. The daily sessions were a well-balanced mixture of theory, practical applications, hands on exercises and interactive discussion, in a comfortable environment with an inspiring cohort. Great learning experience and now I’m dangerous – thanks!

Data Science Dojo has helped me go in depth with key concepts in data science and machine learning where I have not have been able to on Coursera or Udacity. The instructors really care about the students and don’t hesitate to make sure you understand every concept thoroughly. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a hands-on, interactive experience with data science.

Both instructors, Phuc and Dave, were extremely passionate about the material they were teaching and it showed. They also displayed a great amount of industry knowledge and are obviously very experienced in the tools and techniques they teach. I could definitely trust that the material they chose to present was the material that would be most useful to me in terms of applying data science to techniques in my current career. They were also both very good at explaining extremely complex concepts in laymen’s terms and the teaching style was definitely conducive to a collaborative atmosphere in the classroom and among the students.

I felt like a learned a ton — pretty much learning from a non-stop firehose, and wish that I had more of a SQL/programming understanding to have gotten more out of the course. Nevertheless, I was able to follow most of the concepts and in particular, I thought that course content was the right mix of depth and complexity (i.e.: math).

Earlier to the bootcamp, I went learn myself on Machine Learning and it didn’t so well in the time constraint. I didn’t see good explanation or fundamentals out there in internet. After attending this bootcamp, I learned a lot and helped me a lot to do things myself. Now I’m at the stage that I can easily understand those hypothesis available on internet and can spin up my own machine learning model or provide insight how things can be played.

This was a week well spent. The instructors were deeply knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter. I now have a much better understanding of the current trends in data science. Not only am I coming away from this experience with some great new tools that I can put to use immediately, I have a great foundation to build on going forward. A big thanks!

Maria Lauve

Vice President at Analysis Group

I anticipated the bootcamp would be like drinking from a fire hose for a relative data science newbie like myself – and it was! I appreciated both the breadth and depth of the material covered. I feel like I gained the benefit of both a 30,000 foot overview and an introduction to tools and techniques to carry with me into the real world.

Jon Strother

Senior RFP Coordinator at Blackbaud

There are four things I liked most about this bootcamp. First, the diversity of attendants. Second, they provided a roadmap for data science study even for starters. Third, they cover a wide range of topics. And lastly, the use of the Kaggle competition.

I was looking for a bootcamp that would make me more confident with my analytical and data analysis skills. Data science dojo bootcamp provided the quality and depth that I was looking. Hence, I walked out of this bootcamp with the confidence and knowledge that I was aiming for.

I have been doing data science for over 6 years now. I wanted a refresher on the latest data science trends, and this bootcamp exceeded my expectations by delivering more than I expected. This bootcamp also gave me pointers to think about some traditional data science concepts in a completely different way. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone who would like to be a successful data scientist.

Phuc’s and David’s energy and passion for data science was omnipresent in the boot camp. I really enjoyed the classification predictive analytics module and the step by step process of reading data, visualizing the data for key features, model building with cross validation testing and deployment discussion. I am looking forward to applying many of the concepts I learned on key business analytics projects.

The bootcamp was wonderful and good for Data professionals at all levels. I can’t believe how much content we were able to cover in 5 days. Also the class labs and homework were excellent and really helped me get a grasp on the key concepts. It was super exciting and satisfying to be able to build, tune, and deploy a machine learning model in a matter of days!

This has been the best training course I have taken outside a University setting. I was a little skeptical when I saw the great reviews but was pleasantly surprised that the material was very interesting and taught by engaging instructors. This made it very easy to pay attention and stay engaged all 5 days.

The data exploration, feature engineering, and modeling was fantastic! I wish we could have spent the entire week doing just those three things alone! Their explanations were easy to understand and relevant.

I’ve been surprised that it’s been really uniquely tailored to my needs, but also to the needs of my classmates. I see that depending on how technical you really want to get or hands-on you want to be, there’s really something for everyone. Loved the enthusiasm for data science from the instructors!

Great class. Most fun I’ve had had a training session in a long time! Great content. Great instructors. Really enjoyed it and will start applying the tools when I get back to work.

Rick Reynolds

Business Consultant at Kaiser Permanente

With the overwhelming information available on Data Science, this boot camp gave a comprehensive look and got me ready to start my gears towards Data Science. The instructors did a fabulous job of keeping the class engaged through the intensive week.

Best introduction to the world of data science. If you are thinking about a career as a Data Analyst, Data Scientist or if you are a Manager who wants to get a deep understanding of how data science can impact your business…this is the place folks! Seek no further data science…truly…for everyone!

I attended the Washington DC bootcamp from May 8 to 12th. I signed up for this bootcamp because of the reviews and video testimonials from the previous bootcamp attendees and I was not disappointed! David Langer was our instructor. His teaching quality was exceptional. His real life analogies throughout the bootcamp assisted the learning. He has a thorough knowledge on the subjects he teaches and patiently answered all the attendees questions and clarifications – be it during the class or after.

Bootcamp courses are well structured. Prior knowledge on Programming, Mathematics helps, but not mandatory to understand the course subjects. Overall the quality of material and teaching was exceptional.

Dave was a great instructor and kept things very interesting throughout; getting a solid introduction to R and diving into the Kaggle competition was fantastic… I had a fantastic time and am very glad that I spent the money to attend – it’s been well worth it.

The Data Science Dojo bootcamp was an eye-opening experience into world of data science. I started my career in data from a marketing and Excel background and eventually learned SQL and BI tools. I had always wanted to learn R and break into predictive analytics and machine learning, but hadn’t found any resources to get that practical experience. Coming away from the bootcamp, I feel like I have a solid foundation in R and am excited to continue to explore all of the stream processing and machine learning tools that I’ve learned in Azure. There’s definitely a lot of value I think these tools could start to bring to my organization.

Instructors (especially David Langer) managed to bring data science topics to a noticeably diverse audience in a way that, at least for me personally, was greatly enriching. I could frame my previous knowledge of algorithms and tools, and helped me articulate them in practical workflows.

I loved this bootcamp! I never would have imagined I would learn as much as I did in such a short amount of time. I have been considering getting a masters in data science to give myself a more rounded education for my job and future career and this bootcamp was more than enough to get me to where I want to be going forward. Thank you for a fantastic time!

Did not expect this bootcamp to be as helpful as it was, really learned so much during a short period of time. Couldn’t believe I would be able to use and learn R in this short time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, if data science is what you want to understand and apply for personal use or at work.

After this crash-course on the fundamentals of predictive analytics, I can now confidently implement predictive models at work. Because of this bootcamp, I have a solid understanding of machine learning and extremely useful algorithms to get started. I also have a great basis for where to continue learning and benefit my skills in predictive analytics and machine learning. Overall, I would highly recommend anyone with a strong passion for data science to attend.

Data Science Dojo’s week long bootcamp provided me with enough knowledge, understanding, and experience to go back to work and begin implementing forecast models. A week ago, data science was more of a “magical black box” and today I’ll be walking away with the ability to “do the thing”.

The instructors and the material is fantastic and very well explained. These are very hard concepts to explain to beginners, but the instructors did a great job getting down to the level of the students, and take the time to answer all the questions with patience and ease.

Both instructors did a great job in taking us through a densely packed material and showed us the possibility of data science/machine learning (and beyond). You can tell they really care deeply about the subject and want their students to succeed.

Data Science Dojo is by far the best bootcamp for anyone interested in gaining knowledge in machine learning. I entered the bootcamp with absolutely no history of R programming or Azure experience along with little understanding of how machine learning worked.

The instructors did such a great job of explaining the math in simple, iterations so I did not feel overwhelmed or lost. Their programming knowledge made learning R and the libraries associated with machine learning a breeze. It flowed in a manner which didn’t make me feel as if large details were cloudy.

The lesson plan is really well prepared. The example code they provide is really useful and not something you can find online with any other training vendor. The knowledge I gained from this bootcamp will forever change my programming and has provided me a great tool to help my success!

The variety of topics was helpful, and the teachers did a great job of organizing their teaching to give the necessary overview of the topics (history, background, etc) while also eventually going deeper. The practical examples and labs were extremely helpful for learning the material and feeling like we’d be ready.

The balance between how data science dojo presents complexes concepts and tools of data science and the hands on tasks is fundamental to promote immersion and engagement of the students, allowing each student invest the time needed to achieve your goals with the bootcamp.

Very much enjoyed this intensive bootcamp; it was challenging but not intimidating. The participants were engaged, friendly, and curious. The teachers were friendly, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable. It’s definitely a mental marathon, but a great kickoff to the wide world of data science.

The bootcamp really solidified what I learned through Coursera and self study. Nothing compares with talking to the instructors here, and it’s not so long that my employer would balk against me taking the time.

I expend a lot of time gathering information about Data Science bootcamps. As a full-time worker, long lasting bootcamp is not an option. Data Science Dojo is the perfect bootcamp for professional who want to improve their Data Science skills, get an introduction to the Data Science world or like in my case, connecting the dots between all that is happening in the Data Science world.

Amazing, exhilarating and awesome Data Science bootcamp. It was kind of pilgrimage to DS world. Instructors were super helpful in the learning process. It provided me a compass to navigate the world of Data Science 🙂

Bootcamp shows an end to end topic/discussion from the tools, the Math and the implementation using actual datasets — from theoretical to implementation. Materials are helpful guides for lab/homework completion.

Data Science Dojo is a great week-long crash course on data science and machine learning. There’s enough breadth and depth to give you a 10,000-foot view of the field while also walking away with some more specific theory, feature engineering techniques, and insight into what the Amazon’s and Netflix’s of the world do with their big data.

Data Science Dojo is a great place to learn data science. The instructors are extremely skilled and passionate about teaching. The class generally consists of people with diverse backgrounds and experiences and also from different geographies. They help us understand the basics very clearly and also visualize the key concepts. They focus on solving business problems using analytics. These instructors also have many popular videos on YouTube. I am looking forward to their advanced class in the future!

I have always been fascinated with data science; it’s almost like doing magic with data. But, getting myself started with projects is the hardest part. What I learned in the class has served as jump-start tools for me and open up doors to discover many other techniques. Raja’s passion for teaching data science is unquestionable. Raja makes great efforts to follow-up with his students to continue to inspire and to keep us on track. The mentorship is absolutely a valuable resource for the students.

I did not have any background in computer science or programming, but I had always wanted to start learning data science. Participating in the bootcamp was definitely a great decision, considering its shorter period and lower cost compared to other coding bootcamps. At the same time, the bootcamp ensures that you understand the connection of data science elements, such as statistics and programming. This is the part that you cannot fully learn from online courses, and the true value of this course.

Data Science Dojo was the most comprehensive, concise training I have ever attended. I learned so many useful skills in such a short period of time. The pre-course work was extremely useful and prepared me for the in-class sessions. The course has given me practical skills and so many ways to apply those skills to real-world situations. I feel inspired and excited to be able to apply my new knowledge to my work and compete in more Kaggle competitions. I would definitely recommend Data Science Dojo to anyone who works with data or is interesting in learning more about data science.

THE bootcamp on Data Science which opens up this “future world” to EVERYONE who can appreciate it, unlike many other programs with entry barriers requiring “PhD,etc”.The passionate & tireless instructor (I had Raja as mine) put everything into demystifying complex industry jargon and the hands-on exercises gave an excellent opportunity to experience some of the data science industry tools for people who do not usually work with them (like me). I started the Bootcamp skeptical if 5 days would be sufficient for such a vast subject, but left with enough of an understanding to go back and practice actually trying to solve real business problems, rather than only reading & viewing more material on Data Science. Great job Data Science Dojo!

This training was even better than I expected – I am pleasantly surprised to be leaving with more than just an understanding of the topics, but also the ability to deploy capabilities that will bring immediate business value.

Sometimes we understimate our capabilities and get scared with all the messing buzzwords around us. This bootcamp is a fast-paced way to learn data science ecosystem from the scratch and step into bigger ambitions.

This was one of the best training classes I’ve ever attended. The pace was brisk and the content very useful. We were doing data analysis from day one! I will be using these newly acquired skills at work as soon as I get back to the office.

I’ve never learned more from an external training, especially in such a short time. The instructors are excellent – clearly experienced and passionate about data and what it can do for attendees. I would highly recommend the experience to anyone who has or is thinking they may have a question about data and what can be done with it.

Even having learned quite a bit of data science prior to attending the bootcamp, the boot camp still built up my knowledge from a much stronger foundation and taught me to use a variety of tools to quickly and directly apply what I learned to various situations.

I liked how both Rajal and Phuc were able to clearly explain even the most complicated formulas and were able to relate them with real life examples. I also liked that it’s not too formal, loved the humor!!! I also enjoyed the Kaggle competition. I just wished I was able to focus 100%. But I’ll definitely spend time revisiting everything. I think the bootcamp is really great , very helpful.. and will definitely recommend this to my colleagues!!

Data science dojo was the best bootcamp that I attended in a long time. The best part was how an ocean of knowledge was fit into 5 days with a great balance on concepts, application, R, Azure ML, ML algorithms – under the hood, data engineering and attempting kaggle competitions. This bootcamp helped me add a new dimension to solve key problems in a smart way.

This has been one of the best training sessions that I have attended. Both Raja and Phuc share great passion towards teaching and cover a variety of topics from Novice to exposure to expert level of data science in the bootcamp. The course is very well structured with emphasis on fundamentals in data science and machine learning along with practical implementation using the contemporary technology. I would love to attend an next advanced version of this course, if they plan one. Truly enjoyed the week at bootcamp!!

I absolutely loved this bootcamp. It was brutal, intense and rich of content…I think I have never learned so many things so fast. I feel like I’ve learned more in the 5 days of our bootcamp, than in the past couple of years!

Kudos to the instructors, for being able to transmit such complex notions, in the short amount of time at hand, while keeping the class fully interactive.

A great week of training, and well worth the investment of time and resources. However, this is not for someone who merely wants to sit back and wait for learning to happen – this is hands on and intensive. If you come, and you should, show up ready to learn and engage with the materials, your instructors, and your peers.

To anyone coming into the world of ‘Data Science’ this is the course you must attend. This course sets you up to fully understand the main fundamentals and theoretical aspects of all the techniques and tools used to to create an end to end data model pipeline. The tools used on this course has given me the confidence to apply the techniques and skills to help my organisation become more proactive and maximize the power of data science.

The Data Science Dojo team, via their passion for training, tremendous depth of domain knowledge and supportive attitudes delivered a great learning environment. By support, I mean they induced thought, back and forth discussion and tested assumptions along the way.

The Data Science Dojo team did an excellent job providing “detail” and how each of the components of Data Science play in the grand scheme; data mining, data shaping, math/statistics, transformation and visualization.

Exciting times ahead for those with a strong interest in exploring the growing field of Data Science; blend of business / cross-functional acumen, math/statistics, technologies and process knowledge being required. The Data Science Dojo team offers a great program to help support those whom aspire to pursue this chosen path.

Without a doubt, this was a very incredible learning experience. Data Science Dojo definitely lives up to its mission of unleashing the data scientist in you. The instructors not only inspire you to believe that becoming a Data Scientist is within your reach, but they also give you the tools and techniques to do so. At the beginning, when I started the program, l was a little bit intimidated as I was told that this boot camp is intellectually challenging and intensive, and of course it was all of that. Each day, you have to learn so much, so quickly that you have the impression that your brain is about to explode. Thankfully, Raja & Phuc were amazing and know how to present the hard topic in a very simple way, and more importantly they were always eager to assist whenever facing difficulties. At the end of this program, I can definitely say that I acquire the fundamental knowledge needed to excel at tackling real data problem. And the best part of all? I’m just getting started in this exciting journey of Predictive Analytics.

Although I had already been using R to analyze my data, the clear explanations and the practice provided during the workshop helped me solidify my understanding of techniques I hadn’t been using effectively. The workshop is “hands-on” in the best way possible. Raja is clearly dedicated to teaching and has thought through how best to present concepts in statistics and machine learning so that they can immediately become useful tools for data analysis. During the two days of the workshop, he guided us through the process of exploring a dataset, allowing us to learn by making our own discoveries, and then adding insights that extended our learning even further. Raja does not minimize the complexities of exploratory data analysis, but by demonstrating how to look at and think about data, he empowered us to go out and tackle new data analysis problems on our own. I am looking forward to participating in a Kaggle competition with a fellow workshop attendee and a mentor and building on the skills I learned in this workshop. I am already seeing benefits from attending the workshop. I am more confident that I will be able to extract meaning from my research data, and I am eager to get started on this previously daunting task.

It was great covering so much material, and getting the opportunity to kick start Kaggle and Github. It was a really good motivator to attempt to increase our Kaggle score, and I feel like I have the ability to participate in future competitions as well as to build models of my data.

I thoroughly enjoyed DS Dojo’s 5 day intensive bootcamp. Both Raja and Phuc are awesome instructors and made sure we left with a great understanding of data science and how to approach machine learning.

Having worked and learning some of the machine learning algorithms in Grad School. I never appreciated how easily these can be explained and with immediate hands on usage helps to understand even better. Best thing which I liked about was Kaggle competition.

The bootcamp was extremely interesting, hands on and absolutely relevant for my daily work. I am sure I will be able to apply many of the techniques learned during the bootcamp in and outside my job. In that sense having done the bootcamp was extremely worthwhile both professionally and personally!

It was so refreshing to be back in a classroom sort of environment (but its on luxury side). Raja is so passionate about teaching that you feel motivated to learn. its extensive 10 hrs. of boot camp everyday but its worth every second.

Best Instructors and Best reading material and best food of course :-).

So far its the best data science course I have come across. I am so happy about my decision of attending it. would definitely recommend people.

I wish there are more similar boot camps which we can attend in future.

Overall quality of the boot-camp is very good. The ambiance of boot camp, motivation to teach, interest to learn were all positive. Highly qualified teachers with strong intention to make the students understand is also a big plus.I would say that it is a 5 day retreat with Great food for the tummy and brain.

Data Science Dojo bootcamp was an amazing experience. They material and lessons are very well organized and easy to follow. The teachers took ample time to ensure every attendee received the attention they needed to understand the concepts that are taught. They fostered a highly collaborative environment where every attendee was involved and contributed to the group discussions. I would definitely recommend Data Science Dojo to anyone who has an interest data and predictive analysis. Everything I learned I can now apply immediately to my projects at work.

As an layman of data science, I was exposed to different software, concepts, analysis processes, and understanding. Different people can get different insight from this bootcamp. You can get an opportunity to communicate and network with people from different backgrounds. The instructors were passionate, enthusiastic, friendly, responsible, and knowledgeable. The bootcamp does not end after its deadline. It is fantastic that you can ask for their help and support anytime after the bootcamp. Who will deny the lifecycle training service Overall, I will definitely recommend this bootcamp to anyone who is interested in data science!

I highly recommended this boot camp to any of those who is new to Data Science or to anyone who have been doing this all along. The discussions from participants help me understand further of the real business problem and the application of the data science. Raja is awesome!

It was a great bootcamp, covering a lot of pragmatical and real world problems in a short time. Really interesting if you want to enhance your skills to lead your current job in a new way, and so even if you’re not from a CS or maths background!

I have had multiple members of my QA team attend this training. This has really helped the QA discipline at our company and changed the perspectives on how to look at data in a positive manner. We are more focused in instrumentation and data analysis rather than relying heavily only on synthetic lab tests to determine the Quality of our products.

Data Science Dojo bootcamp was an excellent learning experience. The course effectively combined data science and engineering content with hands-on experiments. I’ve previously taken a tool-based analytics course but never developed a grasp of the underlying rationale. I’m leaving the bootcamp with a clearer understanding of the field and also the ability to apply the learning to my job next week. The instructors were excellent — energetic, knowledgeable, and supportive — and they made the week enjoyable as well as instructive. I would recommend the Data Science Dojo bootcamp to anyone interested in data mining and predictive analytics.

If you are beginning your journey in Data Science or looking to see how to apply data science principles into your business; Data Science Dojo is a MUST!

Brian and Phuc really open the black box of Machine Learning. They teach you the right amount of math and software techniques for you to apply into your business and commercialize data. Additionally, they show you how to think like a Data Scientist and instantly add value.

This bootcamp was a perfect balance between theory and application. Unlike some of the other programs out there, I felt the class really helped students understand the ‘why’ behind machine learning as much as the ‘how’.

Data Science Dojo effectively peels the layers on different algorithms. I really liked the emphasis on the concepts and the hands on learning. I walked away feeling exhilarated with knowledge of newer tools.

Lots of valuable insights, met wonderful and interesting people, good discussions and lots of fun. Kudos for all of the participants, the great lectures Raja and David – our guides in this journey and finally all of the people at #DataScienceDojo – Mona always ready to help out and Phuc for his helpful videos.

I love the whole idea of the bootcamp. I have a graduate degree in statistics but the learning experience from the bootcamp gave me a picture behind data science and engineering as it applies to industry. The hands-on real-world application I learned from this bootcamp inspired me to pursue a career in data science. Thanks Raja. You are awesome.

This was easily one of the best training’s I have attended in my 10 years at Microsoft. A perfect combination of hands on, fundamental theories and adequate attention to detail, backed by an immense knowledge and experience of the trainers.

This course helped me put many different techniques and tools in a big picture of Data Analysis process. Also, Raja provided many practical insights on use of different tools and methods in different scenarios. This makes it highly recommended course for any Data Analytic wannabe.

As a BI developer with couple of years experience in big data and data science, I always felt the need to polish my skills by understanding the core concepts of data science. This bootcamp gave me a lot of confidence in problem solving and scientifically approaching predictive modeling issue. I am looking forward to building some real world machine learning models.

Prior to the course, I had some basic understanding of machine learning. Looking at class participants, I think absolute beginners can get started and start predictive modeling in just two days. Very well planned and very focused.

I loved the course. Using R to do predictive modeling and analyzing data is a great resource to have in a developer’s list of tools.

I think participating in Kaggle was a good addition. By doing that, I was able to go online and look at what others were doing with the titanic data. It also gave me a sense of achievement when I posted my results for the first time, and scored somewhat better than average.

The Data Science Dojo bootcamp helped demystify data science with its expert instruction and hands-on activities for the most common topics in data science. The bootcamp is like a well-curated survey course on data science – you get a sense of the field and enough information to navigate how to find out more. I feel like I have a solid foundation and can move forward with deepening my understanding in the tools of my choice. Coming from an academic background, I really appreciated learning about the industry applications of data science from the instructors as well as my classmates. There are many online resources these days to learn about data science, but they cannot replace the positive learning environment Raja, Brian, and Phuc create in the Data Science Dojo bootcamp.

I had taken a few classes related to data science in college and worked on some projects. But, I didn’t know what data science skills were needed in the industry and how they were used. This bootcamp helped me bridge the gap between classroom and actual industry experience.

This is a great introductory course for data science. It touches a wide range of topics and provides the participants with enough awareness & skills to pursue additional learning on their own. The instructors are knowledgeable, passionate and willing to get in to detailed in depth discussions about any of the topics. The weeklong course is fairly intense and the instructors did a great job keeping the participants engaged.

The bootcamp had examples of situations where predictive analytics was being used, which gave me ideas on how I could apply predictive analytics to my own projects. It also exposed me to a variety of technologies which I had never used before; such as: Hive, HBase, and Hadoop. Most importantly, the bootcamp gave me a solid understanding of big data, predictive analytics, and resources I can use use to further expand my knowledge in the subject matter.

The workshop confirmed my decision to become a data scientist. Through effective hands-on learning, I completed the course able to explore a new data set, form a hypothesis about the data, and build models from which meaningful information could be extracted.

It was amazing learning so much in such a short amount of time. For 6 days worth of data science, it far exceeded my expectations of what I was about to learn. The teachers were engaging, the material was simplified for how grandiose the topics were, and that helped to have a strong foundation for jumping into the data science field.

One of the most practical and detailed oriented data science sessions I have ever attended. I have taken a full semester course on data mining but I can say this with confidence that I have learned lot more during these 5 days in this boot camp. Thanks Raja and team for coming up with such a great program.

I was looking for a good bootcamp for learning the basics of Data Science and found this course very good. Frankly, Data Science has been an area which always felt a bit intimidating and some of my prior training courses (online) left me with a lack of basic understanding.

Here, at Data Science Dojo, the instructors were quite knowledgeable and took their time to explain the fundamentals. I found the course content / material top notch and really easy to understand. I just can’t believe how far I have come in the last 5 days. I feel that Data Science Dojo has given me a good launching pad to add more value at my job and also learn more about Data Science.

I was impressed with the course material and the instructors. Looking back, it is hard to believe we learned so much in such a short amount of time. The DataScienceDojo instructors covered the materials thoroughly, and made sure the entire class understood concepts before moving to the next. The training covers aspects of data science, data engineering, and real world examples. There is plenty of additional material to continue the learning after the bootcamp. The bootcamp is an excellent value. I would definitely recommend signing up and taking the course.

The Data Science Dojo Bootcamp was fantastic! The five days of instruction were intense but very enjoyable and informative; I feel like I have a really solid understanding of data science and the tools I can employ to work with large data sets. The instructors were great, the venue was great, and it was great getting to know the other participants – really glad I attended and would definitely recommend the bootcamp to anyone interested in data science. Thank you.

If you are a working professional interested in growing your career in data science or big data, I highly recommend Data Science Dojo. Raja will teach you, in the span of two short days, how to be dangerous with data science. He will teach you the basics of exploratory data analysis, R, and model building and testing. It’s immediately clear that Raja loves to teach, and his passion for data science is infectious. Best of all, Raja will teach you about the big pitfalls in data science. During the Kaggle competition, you will work with a group of motivated students who took the class with you to apply your newly-minted skills. 10/10 would sign up again!

This bootcamp is an extremely efficient way to learn the fundamentals, and more importantly, application of data science in a very short time. Having funded the course and travel expenses entirely myself, I was naturally apprehensive about the cost. However, before the end of the first day, these concerns completely vanished. This bootcamp is guaranteed value for money. There is no way I could have learnt the materials covered in this training by myself, and not for lack of trying. Studying from a book, or online tutorials just does not compare to the interactive, discussion-based learning approach Raja provides. The Data Science Dojo experience quickly transitioned my thinking and language from academic abstraction to business pragmatism and I cannot recommend this bootcamp highly enough.

This was an excellent workshop on machine learning. Practical and great to get started with building predictive models. The most important thing that happened was I somewhat overcame my fear of predictive analytics. Now I have the knowledge of what it takes and I believe I will be able to self learn based on my needs.

The Data Science Dojo boot camp was a great way for me to go from knowing little about data science to knowing enough to make me effective at planning strategic data science initiatives in my organization. In addition to getting a good feel for the tools and processes of data science, I also learned a lot of hands-on skills. The course was dense so over the course of the five days the friendly and knowledgeable instructors provided a fantastic amount of information. I had so much fun learning the tools and skills I kept up with my data science education and managed to do two months of an online course in two days just with the knowledge I learned during the bootcamp.

Instructors passion, enthusiasm for the subject, willingness to help. Wide range of topics covered in an accessible manner, good balance between maths and presenting things in a easy way to understand.

I was looking for datascience courses and tried to learn them on my own using online courses and books. It was not a good experience. Then I found about the DataScienceDojo 5 days immersive bootcamp online. I looked at the course outline, it was perfect and I did not have to be away from my work for long. I must say I made a right choice. I am more confident about working on a datascience project right away.

Data Science Dojo is absolutely the best training class I’ve ever taken! They have truly taught us “how to fish” – they’ve given us the training we need to be able to understand how data science works and how to implement & deploy machine learning systems. I feel very confident that I’ll not only be able to use what I learned in class, but feel that I can easily go beyond what was covered with some degree of confidence!

I came to the bootcamp because I had tried to learn machine learning and data science techniques on my own from books and online classes, but I had trouble finding the time to work through math, and even when I did, I didn’t really understand what I was doing. Now I’ve got a much better understanding of what I’m doing, I’m unstuck, and ready to dive in!

Data Science Dojo is an amazing intro to data science. You can do the free stuff online but being able to have in person discussion on topics that may not be familiar or easily understood is worth the time and money. The five day format is a great length to learn enough to start but not to long as to make it difficult for a person to attend due to work and family obligation. The three instructors are friendly and want to help. I would recommend to anyone looking for an introduction to the topic.

It was an awesome experience to accumulate a breath of knowledge and resource materials to start the journey on the world of Data Science and Engineering. It SAVED me a ton of researching time and brought me important insights. Thank you!

All around hands on approach, lectures, interaction, and topics. I enjoyed the approach of developing the theory behind the application of data science and the interactions in the lectures. I’m looking forward to the follow up mentoring and Kaggle activity. All of the instructors were enjoyable and I learned a lot from all of them.

A great bootcamp to start the big data and predictive analytics journey. I got the chance to experience working with the necessary tools (Azure , R , Hadoop…) with a clear understanding of the theory and application! The instructors are great and I can now apply many of the learnings in my work immediately. Thanks to everyone who made this happen.

I cannot say enough good things about the Data Science Dojo bootcamp. The instructors were knowledgable and engaging, and the material was not only relevant but extremely interesting. I thought they did an amazing job touching on all topics at both a high level and then also going deep into the logic underneath. After this week I truly feel I know what it means to be a Data Scientist and how to use the tools at my disposal to draw actions/insights from data.

I feel so much more confident about approaching data now. Before I was completely unsure where to start and now I feel like I have a handle on so many different data-based topics I knew nothing about only 5 days ago. I started implementing some of the things I learned at Data Science Dojo on my own dataset before the bootcamp even ended!

Data Science Dojo is exactly what I was looking for in a week long Data Science Boot Camp. The training was intense and in depth, however, the instructor’s methods for teaching the curriculum made it accessible, easy to understand, and fun. Their passion really cultivated a desire in myself to continue to grow and learn even more about this field.

My name is Kevin Hillaker. I recently transitioned to data engineer in the manufacturing industry. To be honest, I was overwhelmed with the breadth and depth of the field.

Attending DataScienceDojo was a smart move. The pre-work and boot camp have allowed me to better understand what it takes to be successful in the field, and some of the pitfalls to watch out for as a new practitioner. I presume the same is true for the post-bootcamp coursework (I’ll know soon enough).

With this new found information, I believe I am now on a trajectory to develop a domain specific methodology. The boot camp provided tools to evaluate data, engineer features, build and evaluate models.

All of the topics covered were presented in a way anyone can learn. Further, questions were actively encouraged. Participants were continuously challenged to think outside the box and apply their past experiences to the data challenges presented. Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

I would advise anyone interested to reach out DataScienceDojo to begin their journey.

As a leader of a BI organization, I came to the Bootcamp to learn as much as I could about predictive analytics. The week was intense, but it far exceeded my expectations. I learned the processes; I learned the theory; and I gained lots of hands on practice. This course gave me the knowledge and the the tool experience to bring predictive analytics back to my company.

I highly recommend Data Science Dojo for your entry into the world of machine learning and predictive analytics. Either you are an experienced working professional or entry level person, you will certainly enhance your knowledge and profile after the 5 day intense boot camp. The instructors are well experienced, engaging, interactive high energy professionals with great teaching skills. Raja and Phuc make the hardest concepts seem so easy! The class room training is accompanied with some great reference materials, source code and access to portal.

Though it was an intense 50 hours in the class room, I never felt bored or disengaged. There is always something new to learn and hear from these folks. Highly recommended and the place to go to enhance your skills in Data Science.

I had been trying to get into data science for many months, watching videos like those posted by the Harvard Data Science cs109 class but at the end of the day I wasn’t really learning efficiently or learning all that much at all because it wasn’t clear how what they were teaching me would relate to my job and I also didn’t have the opportunity to ask questions about topics I wasn’t familiar with. I decided that I needed an instructor led course and the fact that Data Science Dojo is 5 days was the biggest selling point. The days can be long especially if you really get into the Kaggle competition but at the end of the bootcamp, I know how to apply the principles of data science and machine learning to my work domain.

Data Science dojo bootcamp has exceeded all my expectations! Coming from a software development background, yet, I had spent months trying to figure out where to start and how to learn Data Science/ Machine Learning and ended up lost in online courses, Hadoop and big data platforms without a clue. In five days, I feel extremely enabled and ready to apply machine learning with full potential. The Kaggle competition was the best part where learning curve and confidence goes up high. I highly recommend and endorse the bootcamp. I’m also impressed by the strong knowledge of the instructors!

It was a very rewarding one week bootcamp. You would never appreciate it until you get your sleeves rolling and hands dirty with many exercises, labs and even a data science competition. One would feel empowered to engage in real projects after the bootcamp. Thanks DataScienceDojo.

I spent several months trying to teach myself the fundamentals needed to begin with data science. I took classes on several of the big MOOC websites, but I struggled when trying to apply the concepts to real-world situations. I read about how I needed a strong math and statistics foundation to start in machine learning, and the path seemed daunting. The Data Science Dojo team has created a program that gives you a foundation to begin with data science. They pushed us to ask questions and think like a data scientist, and gave many real world examples to solidify the concepts.

This is a great bootcamp for a wide variety of people. You learn about programming and math behind the data analytics while applying the techniques on real world data. Instructors are very passionate to teach and help us learn the concepts methodically and pave the way for expanding on our machine learning skills later after the bootcamp as well. In addition, we get involved in a Kaggle competition (machine learning) that is fun and very instructive.

I absolutely loved this class. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in analytics or data in general! I have attended many bootcamps and courses, and this has been the best so far. The instructors are all great and have a knack for explaining things multiple times and in multiple ways if you are having a hard time understanding. They actually care about your success and its rare to find!

This bootcamp got the basics of Data Science covered. We not only learnt how to build Predictive models, but also learnt how to tune them to perform better and how to interpret the results. It’s a great course for any aspiring Data Scientist.

This bootcamp was a great experience for someone like myself that wanted to learn more about data science and has never written R code or used Azure before. Be prepared for a busy week, but you’ll leave excited to learn more and try using your own data when you return to the office.

I really enjoyed this bootcamp. The instructors are enthusiastic and the whole week is very interactive and hands on. I’m just beginning my data science journey, but I am excited to implement some of the skills learned in Austin this week.

I would highly recommend the bootcamp to colleagues without any hesitation. I had a great week and I’m sure many of the topics we learned will be applied at our company in order to more efficiently diagnose patients with severe genetic disorders.

The bootcamp is great! It includes a lot of material in a short period of time and is a great start on learning data science. The pre-requisite webinars did a good job preparing me for the training. The instructors maintain a good balance between theory and practice in the classroom. I highly recommend this training as a start to using data science in practice.

Data Science Dojo was an insightful workshop that was an eye opener to the practical hands on best practices for data science. The amalgamation of tools and theory was handy and structured. The Kaggle bit was very interesting and was a motivation to work harder and better.

As someone with mathematics background doing management consulting, Data Science Dojo is exactly the training needed to bridge those two specialty: how to apply my mathematical knowledge in a real business setting.

The bootcamp was a an excellent introduction to the world of Data Science; comprehensive coverage of relevant topics, practical lab exercises, and very helpful follow up by trainers. I would definitely recommend to fellow learners.

The bootcamp is really great to get you started on Data Science. It’s equally good for someone coming from a statistics background or from a Computer Science background. Not only does it rapidly expose you to a lot of machine learning algorithms, but also covers the building blocks and the math behind it. So, you will get a better understanding of the impact of each tuning parameter that you pass to the the algorithm.

The past 5 days have totally changed my perception about statistics and maths and engineering – ok, anything that has to do with numbers. Now, I can confidently say that I am in love with looking at datasets – all i need to do is really to spend time exploring and engineer it to be a meaningful metadata. If only there are more lecturers and instructors like Phuc and Raja – back in those days when I was still working on my degree. Thanks for enlightening my journey and it is definitely just the beginning. Wishing great success to everyone in data science dojo bootcamp. You guys are awesome!

Data Science Dojo provides a conducive environment into learning the basics of data science. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable of the nuances of the practices in data science and are incredibly enthusiastic. I would certainly recommend this bootcamp to anyone who is interested to delve into the fields of Data Science and Machine Learning but do not know where to begin. A side note though, be prepared to work hard!

Extremely good bootcamp whereby you get multiple flavors of data science from theory to the practical applications. An intensive one-week exercise with engaging instructors polishes your skills and enhances your understanding of Data Science.

A very thorough introduction of many aspects of Data Science and Data Engineering in only one week. The course is supported by an easy to use learning portal that is very rich in material. Furthermore, during the course you will download all the material to your own laptop for re-reading and further learning at home after the course. The instructors know the subject very well and present and explain all subjects very well and patiently.

Awesome bootcamp. Before the bootcamp I mostly considered myself a data analyst, but now feel I have the tools and basic knowledge to develop myself as data scientist. Lots of eye openers and a good balance between ‘wow, didn’t know that was possible’ and ‘yes I got this’ (I would say the balance was 85/15 for me). I would definitely recommend the bootcamp – with a warning to open R at least a couple of times before the bootcamp to make sure you get the full experience.

The data science bootcamp is an amazing way to improve your skills in data science and engineering! The content of the training and the trainers themselves are amazing. Now after the bootcamp I am very inspired to go back to my data and implement all the new knowledge I gained! The bootcamp of Data Science Dojo is one I will recommend to all who are interested in becoming skilled in the amazing field of data science!

The instructor (Raja Iqbal) has very rich knowledge and he is a great trainer. He can explain complex topics into simple and easy to understand and provided a lot practical samples and demos. I really love this course and recommend everyone who wants to learn and move to data science space. It covers a lot subjects in 5 days.
Great selection of topics, very well mix of practice vs lecture, mix of complexity vs practical use and. I really enjoyed learning the math behind decision trees, random forest, and linear regression. Raja did a good job to explain complex math into simple demos and explanation.

As a soIutions architect, in the past, the systems I’ve designed worried about the data as it related to the application(s), there was less thought on collection of meta data and other data attributes that could be leveraged for predictive analytics. I took this course to get a better appreciation for how to rethink of the data applications collect/use from an analytic standpoint. This course provided a great overview of current data science and machine learning techniques. I plan to leverage these insights into how I think about system design in the future.

This is great course. I have got good knowledge and hands on experience for machine learning and Big Data. It gave me many insights on what is machine learning and provided guidance to explore further. Provided good hands on experience to R programming which is very powerful to have in skill set.

The bootcamp made accessible knowledge that was previously inaccessible to me and presented it in a clear, concise fashion. I spent many hours trying to learn this material from coworkers in the field, from blogs, books, and other data science sites but did not get a cohesive introduction to all the varied topics within data science. This course was excellent in teaching me the fundamentals and giving me insights into areas for further self study. With the knowledge I have gained I can now look at business problems with a different lense and apply the techniques I learned in professional and personal projects. I highly recommend the course to both beginners and seasoned practitioners because there is always something new to learn.

Loved the bootcamp! The instructors explained some very complex material in an easily understandable manner. The hands-on labs during the bootcamp to practice our coding in R and also exercise the ML algorithms we learned in Azure were super helpful. Strongly encourage anyone who is interested in exploring data science to attend this bootcamp.

I found this bootcamp through a random google search, so I was a bit nervous about how it would turn out. From the moment I began on the pre-work – I was very impressed. This is a very intensive course – but exactly what I needed. I couldn’t be happier with the way this course went – and looking forward to staying in contact with all my fellow classmates.

Data Science Dojo is an amazing course! I have already started thinking of ways to apply these skills to my work – especially the Mighty random forest. I recommend this class to anyone interested in learning about data science.

What I liked the most is the instructor’s passion on the topics. Enjoyed the bootcamp!

I thoroughly enjoyed this bootcamp, and I am honestly sad to go back to my job after this experience. I have been doing software development for 6 years, but I have not been satisfied in this area so I have been researching other fields that utilize more of my math degree. I chose this bootcamp because I wasn’t quite sure what data science was all about and I did not want to devote 2 years to a masters program in an area I knew little about. I have to say this bootcamp has ignited my interest in data science and I most definitely would like to pursue it as a career option now.

Data Science Dojo’s Bootcamp has been an excellent experience, given the vast number of data science topics covered in a short time frame. It’s intense and a steep learning curve, but worth it for the intuition and the practical labs. I never thought I’d be able to create Machine Learning model and enter a Kaggle competition in a short time frame with little experience, but now have the confidence to persevere in my data science learning.

I was a little apprehensive signing up for DataScienceDojo because of my lack of experience with coding and data science, but I’m really glad I listened to the other reviewers. It was a great week full of interesting topics taught by knowledgeable instructors. No matter your profession or level of expertise in the world of data, there is something here for everyone.

Excellent course design, studying material and instructors! And a good balance between theory and practice. It is quite impressive what gets to be covered in a week, the best data science dive one could have.

Absolutely amazing bootcamp! I feel very enabled! Very hands-on and in-depth look at what it is like to be a data scientist. It’s also very encouraging that the instructors helped us with any issue we had. Only negative feedback might be that it start’s too early in the morning!

It was brutal (in a good way) with a lot of concepts to understand from different disciplines. Before the boot-camp, I had a brief understanding of few things which were reinforced and also learned a lot of other things. More importantly I have the confidence to build predictive models now and go on to the Kaggle competition.

I just finished the 5 day bootcamp, and I cannot emphasize enough the value I gained this week. Phuc and Raja cracked open the black box of machine learning and predictive analytics in a way that enabled me to learn quickly, while increasing my passion to learn more.

Overall the bootcamp is a great dynamic between theory and practice in the world of data science. There was enough math, and real world examples to solidify a foundation (and sparked interest in difference statistical and math concepts) for understanding ML and its applications. Highly recommend for industry pros, and newbies alike. Thanks Raja and Phuc!

The focus on data exploration rather than the algorithm itself was awesome. Introduction to Kaggle competition added more value as we can continuously learn rather than get stuck only during these 5 days.

Attending the boot camp was an amazing experience for me. The workshop is very well structured, fantastically taught, has the right amount of breadth and depth, and most importantly it is actionable. A bunch of us from the class formed a team, to participate in Kaggle competitions, and were able to apply immediately the machine learning concepts we learned in the workshop. The practical exercises you do in the course, really help to cement the theory portion. The workshop does not end after five days; you become part of a vibrant community of teachers, mentors, and students who are there to help and support you in your data science journey. Thanks to the workshop, I came away with a genuine passion for data science.

Data Science Dojo Bootcamp was just awesome! The five day training was intense but very informative. They teach you core fundamentals of data science which you won’t find anywhere online. In addition, there are hands-on labs that gives more confidence to handle any dataset. I really liked Raja’s interactive, discussion-based teaching approach that was my most valuable experience. I am really glad that I attended this bootcamp and would definitely recommend to everyone.

Great overview of all things: got a good balance of theory and hands on exercises. Doing exercises right after really puts things into context. Hands on training and code samples that I can take away to apply later (or show my mgmt). Kaggle… illustrated the data science challenges and dilemmas very well– the depth of feature engineering, tradeoffs, when to stop etc. Being in person with all my cohorts was great.

This is a superb program. It’s also very accessible for those without a CS background. I loved the fact that I walked away empowered with the tools and I actually understood it! Highly recommend it, especially for management consultants such as myself.

I can’t believe how quickly I went from knowing next to nothing to actually building a working machine learning model and understood the basic principles of what I built. The class was phenomenal for being able to give me a basic understanding of the principles and also give me hands on experience. I’ve never learned so much packed into so little time – the best technical class in over a decade.

Sessions definitely exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed learning from Brian. I know these insights are going to helpful for me in my next career as a Data Scientist/Team Owner. The resources, reading materials, books, presentations are all high class.

If you were considering a transition to a career in data science, this bootcamp provides good exposure to the field by knowledgeable instructors. It is intense, but it has to be to touch on the material in the allotted time.

I’ve been having starting trouble with trying to learn Data Science for a while. This bootcamp helped me to get started by digesting all the various data science concepts with a good balance of theory and practice. The instructors are really good as well, very passionate about teaching and data science and give you a lot of insights on traps to avoid/best practice which you may not get from online training modules. Overall, I’m very happy I attended this bootcamp. Thanks Data Science Dojo team!

The dojo bootcamp gave me a very good overview of machine learning and data analytics. Despite not having a background in computer science or tech, I found the course very accessible and relevant to data science problems in my field (biology). I now have a clearer understanding of the pathway I need to follow for deepening my understanding of certain aspects of data science, relevant to my work.

Excellent bootcamp! This was a great experience. I felt like I was back in graduate school. The instruction was professional and very high quality. The labs were relevant and helped provide scaffolding for the concepts taught. I would strongly recommend this course to any interested in this field.

Laurence Lau

The instructors were knowledgeable and super helpful.

Weldat Habte

This bootcamp was great! Excellent information packed into a whirlwind week. Before I took this training, data science seemed to be an exclusive club that was hard to get into. Now, I feel like I am part of the club and have the understanding and tools to go deeper and grow in my data science abilities.

Phil Fehlinger

I have, throughout my professional career, had the opportunity to attend many training camps/sessions/courses. From a value for the dollar perspective this course is definitely a deal. The content is rich and applicable. The additional course material would be worth the training cost in and of itself.

Kevin Kunz

Data Science Dojo is great bootcamp. It provides basics to work on data science.

Gopi Gogada

Very good training, I feel like I know enough about each topic “to be dangerous”.

Excellent introduction to ML

Kapil Gadkar

Whew!

I used a kerosene lantern to find information and I just got trained on LEDs.

Phuc and Dave know their subject and are both clear and engaging teachers. They gave us tools, labs, and insights that are beyond a textbook or any sterile whitepaper. Worth far more than I expected from 50 hours of lecture.

Now I get to go back to work in a world that is more complex, but much much brighter.

Ed Roske

Be prepared to follow the Phuc-Rabbit and Mighty David Langer down the rabbit hole of data science, and emerge on the other side a full convert!

Jean Choi

I liked everything about the boot camp. Raja, David, and Phuc were very good at making sure everyone understood the concepts before moving on. Overall I feel that I got exactly what I wanted, a solid foundation to build my knowledge and skills.

Bill Rolison

Simply terrific. Really enjoyed it.

Satakarni Bommuluri

Data Science is a broad subject and 5 days is just short. Still glad to recommend this course as the course focusses more on getting started to the journey of data science. Liked the focus on ML techniques / optimization which would be quite intimidating to anyone new to data science.

Suman Roy

Thanks for a great bootcamp! I feel that I have the knowledge to immediately create a predictive model in production.

Doug O'Donnell

The boot camp is perfect if you’d like to get started in Data Science and build skills in really short duration.

Jay Shah

I was surprised how clearly the topics were explained. I’ve looked at data science material before but never found it explained so coherently.

Christian de Chenu

Getting hands-on gave me insights which would have been impossible through a online course like coursera, so this makes it worth it.

Asim Memon

Very good introduction and comprehensive overview of the field of data analytics.

Julian Quernheim

Raja is very good as an instructor, and manages to get good participation out of the group.

Danel Arismendez

Got to learn the fundamentals very well. And got exposed to new technologies.

Vandana Patidar

I think this is one of the BEST training classes I have ever gone to. The instructors give you your money’s worth by sticking to the schedule, class went the full time-slot each day, the materials were relevant, we got books to take back and read. The instructors know their stuff! The classroom discussions. The websites worked, the tools worked – can’t say enough good things about the class. I will definitely recommend this to other people wanting to take Data training.

Tami McLaren

I like that there was a lot of hands on coding exercise and explanations of the specific example/code. It made understanding the details of the tasks much easier.

Wendy Zhang

The class is intense, but extremely rewarding. A 5-day endeavor that’s more continuous sprint than marathon. Even so, the most complex mazes have the tastiest cheese.

Dmitry Dreyzin

Five star experience! Fast paced yet thorough. Many of the things were new and my mathematics and statistics skill were rusty but raja did simplify them so everyone could understand. will definitely recommend.

Zain Mirza

The class is a good start for a person who is not into data science before. Although the course was intense with lot of information to take for 10 hr and 5 days straight… the instructors made it very easy and interesting for me to hang on to my chair all the time. In short, I think the instructors were awesome, confident and very knowledgeable in the subject matter.

Ailaiah S. Katakam

I enjoyed the 5 day bootcamp. I liked the fact that we can immediately apply the predictive modelling and machine learning principles immediately in our day to day work activities.

It is also very practical, allowing you to go from zero knowledge to someone who can start building reliable models. The bootcamp covers enough background that puts you on the right spot to start approaching more challenging problems, and to go for a more solid understanding of data science as well. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone who desires to get up to speed in data science in a short time!

Guilherme Franca

This is a great bootcamp for people who want exposure to data science but can’t take 12 weeks off work or school for an in depth bootcamp. You meet a lot of interesting people and gain a lot of perspective about what’s going on in the field of Data Science.

Daniel Baron

The slides, exercises, and materials were all well created. Each exercise demonstrated previous lessons well, while introducing new concepts. Good coverage of both theory and practice. Good coverage of mathematical basis for learning algorithms.

Daniel Stevens

What I learned from DataScienceDojo’s 5-Day bootcamp is beyond my expectation. The way they structure some key areas will help us learn, think and apply to real world in the future. We spend lots of time learning new concept and knowledge and then applying them to the popular tools such as Azure Machine Learning studio and R Studio. I really find myself a lot more knowledgeable in those new areas and can’t wait to try applying them to the real big-data at work. Thank you DataScienceDojo.

Chen Ku

I recommend Data Science Dojo if you are interested in learning more about data science.

My bootcamp was filled with individuals that skill sets ranged from beginner to advanced and one for one I feel each one gained insight that improved their individual skill set.

Sean Strickling

Great experience. The focus was on how to take what you learn at the bootcamp and employ it your own work environment. I walked out feeling confident in my ability to create and deploy predictive models.

Britany Selhorst

The bootcamp was fantastic! As intense as you would expect five consecutive 10-hour days of data science to be, but also structured very intelligently and built to be a manageable week-long rabbit hole to dive into. Really appreciated the way the course was designed and implemented!

Ben Gretch

The emphasis on the importance of high level conceptual understanding [and the] domain knowledge and expertise as well as really getting to know your data is critical to doing good data science, and that one should not necessarily focus on becoming a data scientist, but should rather focus on bringing data science skills to their areas of expertise.

Jesse Corral

Overall quality of the boot-camp is very good. The ambiance of boot camp, motivation to teach, interest to learn were all positive. Highly qualified teachers with strong intention to make the students understand is also a big plus.I would say that it is a 5 day retreat with Great food for the tummy and brain.

Kavitha Azhagarsamy

Data Science Dojo is the best possible 1 week course on data science. The curriculum fits an amazing amount of material into 50+ hours and covers a wide breadth of topics. I was able to gain new intuition and insight into a number of problems I have previously encounter. The learning experience is stimulating and interactive, giving the participants the confidence to approach complex problems without fear.

Jason Kace

Truly, and end to end enlightening, educational, and professional experience. I had some technical background within the space before coming, but was really lost as to where to go to “get good”. Well, I found the place. This week far surpassed my expectations and I learned more here than I did in semesters of school. Now I have the tools to go out and get better than good (with some practice, of course)!

Ryan Mackelfresh

Thorough introduction to prediction models and ensemble techniques. Obviously in a five-day bootcamp, one doesn’t become an expert. But I feel I’m well equipped to tackle some intermediate-level ML texts and apply to my own work.

Timothy Dobbins

Good balance of time spent between theoretical and practical sessions.

Valerie Tan

Great, comprehensive course in the fundamentals of data science and engineering. Perfect for those who want to be able to apply data science solutions quickly at work.

The bootcamp gives a really really good generic course. Gives you all the intuition you need to dig deeper into data science ~ there are plenty of examples.

Charles

This is a great bootcamp for people who want exposure to data science but can’t take 12 weeks off work or school for an in depth bootcamp. You meet a lot of interesting people and gain a lot of perspective about what’s going on in the field of Data Science.

Dan

This camp offers a great balance between theory and practical exercises which facilitate the learning and retention process. The pre-bootcamp material is very helpful in preparing oneself for the camp, and the Kaggle competition presents a great platform to use the skills learned throughout the week. The instructors are engaging and easy to approach with any questions, concerns, or comments you may have. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in learning more about data science and data engineering!

Sarika Malani

Great teachers show you how powerful predictive models work and how to drive them. Then they show you a great process to filter out the bad models, so only the great models make it out into the real world. These guys gave me more tools to go out and make the world smarter.

Ryan Grosch

I have attended multiple training classes and conferences about predictive analytics and machine learning and this was the most complete. I feel like I learned more from this training class than all of the others. The hands on experience with the Kaggle competition really helped to clarify some of the concepts for me. The instructors were very knowledgeable and had the ability to teach the topics with clarity and at a pace that wasn’t too fast or too slow.

John Williams

A great balance of theory and practice of Data science and data engineering delivered by knowledgeable practitioners in an immersive way!

Kannan Iyer

Great bootcamp! If cars are data, most of us “data practitioners/herders” are pretty good at starting and driving our cars around. Some of us have even gotten quite proficient at pushing the cars to the limits that they can offer. However, many of us are not “mechanics” nor have any ability to aspire to “car designer”. This bootcamp allows us to, in 50 hours, go from being just an expert driver to a “PRETTY GOOD MECHANIC” allowing us to tune and optimize our cars in new and unheard of ways.

With the bootcamp’s background coverage of the details and math behind it, it even gives us a peek at what the” car engineers” (the Ph.D. math and stats guys) were thinking about when designing the machine learning stuff; helping to GREATLY simplify and understand the theory behind how things actually work.

This can be IMMENSELY helpful when using tuning the machine learning models .

The instructors are extremely knowledgeable yet have a gentle teaching style (partial differential equations were almost fun) and the class materials were very well done. The only advise would be to DO THE HOMEWORK BEFORE CLASS and block sometime in the evenings for homework.

Overall, a week well spent!

Chief Data Herder

One of the best training’s I have attended. I was able to really learn a lot of fun and new things in the last 50 hours. I will definitely suggest this bootcamp to anyone who wants to learn data science.

Rajesh Ramachandran

The data science course was an amazing way to learn about data science and data engineering in a hands on atmosphere that exposed me to how big data affects our everyday life and how I can immediately start using available tools to work on interesting side projects, apply what I learned to my own job and be more aware of how data is integrated in so many aspects of our consumer lives. I highly recommend this course to anyone that works with data in any form, be it text files, database tables, streaming data, etc.
